i think that is what you want 

D plan help.plan

i would turn that fence of in camera layers as it is really slowing things down, it was on my end anyway

that should give you some clues just some manual roof work

Check wall structure tab make sure wall top and bottom heights are set to defaults

i had a go at this not sure if it is on the right track also the roof needs some clean up witch is causing it to be messy

Can you post the plan it sounds like you may have elevation data on top of elevation 

Is that right i just copy the correct heights

Doesn't seem to make any difference as my default exterior walls are stucco-4 and my default interior walls are interior-4 with drywall on BOTH sides.  Not quite sure I'm following your logic here. 

 

However, CA doesn't seem to have a default setting for attic wall type.  If I select attic wall option with either my default exterior wall or my default interior wall, it does not change the wall type, which I guess is what it's supposed to do.

 

I really think you need to just open my plan and select a 3D view, preferably perspective or orthographic FULL views (not FLOOR views) because you want see the attic walls generated) and you will see what I am talking about.

 

 

i give up the defaults seem correct to me 

i think maybe you have used the spray can

Post your file you should get some help more focused that way

see if that is getting closer to what you want

Terrain_Nov_27_20Mark.plan

i had a quick look at your file you cannot put terrain data on top of terrain data so elevation region must not have other elevation line over it

I missed this ...from thurs.?  I missed this weeks presentation.....

 

does that mean we can now have two layers of Framing on a Roof ?  this has been asked for for years by those that need Roof  "Battens" or Purlins.

yes

Chief has some good training videos on this topic also you can put things on different layers and on those layers you can be turned off  for material calc

Did anyone else notice the Wall Type Definition dbx in the video?

I did after you pointed it out thanks, also there 2 coming webinars about framing one is hinting at roof purlins and the other is hinting at horizontal wall framing like multiple rows of noggins as that dialog shows 

I am pretty sure i have seen chief reply on forum with this question and they said upgrades are done manualy so my guess would be after weekend

this is what i set it to you may need to further adjust

Have a look at the attached plan i think it is what you are wanting 

Your where on the right track, what i did was copy the terrain and elevations to your plan then i had to convert the terrain perimeter from a poly line to a terrain then i scaled it by 12 transform replicate tool then you just need set the height of the terrain to match your sea levels open terrain and set subfloor height above terrain

I played with this problem I got it working in very manual way i remove railing settings and room definition and draw post and beams manually  to get it working, also edited the wall to shape of railings manually and drew a floor slab manually  this might be a way out of this problem
